A GWYNEDD supermarket has committed itself to encouraging staff and shoppers to use their Welsh.

Tesco, in High Street, Porthmadog has welcomed the use of Welsh in the store, and has found staff and customers more comfortable using the language since it adopted the Welsh Language Board (WLB)-run Iaith Gwaith (Working Welsh) scheme.

Iaith Gwaith was developed to make it easier for everyone to use their Welsh in the workplace and increase people’s confidence in their ability to use the language.

Welsh speakers are identified by a badge bearing the Iaith Gwaith logo.

This month the WLB is taking Iaith Gwaith on tour across Wales to highlight its benefits.
